Examples

See the automated tests.

A sample command file to process data from the State of Colorado’s HydroBase database is as follows:

# 08236000 - ALAMOSA RIVER ABOVE TERRACE RESERVOIR
08236000.DWR.Streamflow.Month~HydroBase
# 08236500 - ALAMOSA RIVER BELOW TERRACE RESERVOIR
08236500.DWR.Streamflow.Month~HydroBase
SetToMin(TSID="08236000.DWR.Streamflow.Month",IndependentTSList=SpecifiedTSID,IndependentTSID="08236500.DWR.Streamflow.Month")
